Greetings, first time poster, long time collector so please be nice. I just wanted to discuss a little known Ripken error card from the 1988 Classic Card Co. travel update red set. They misspelled his name "Ripkin" which was corrected very early on. Similar to the 1990 Fleer error card #624, they misspelled his name the same way.
There isn't too much discussion on-line about it, here is a link to a Baltimore Sun article from 1994.

They list the top 10 rarest cards. Numbers 1 and 2 are obvious, the Orange and Blue Charlotte minor league issues. Number 3 is this card. Has anyone else seen one before? I am fortunate to have it!

The holy grail of Cal Ripken memorabilia is a 2 1/2 -by-3 1/2 -inch piece of 14-year-old cardboard. It features a bland picture of the 19-year-old “infielder” when he played for the min…

I can't say I've seen one until you showed it. Nice card. I doubt one will show up for sale anytime soon, haha...Greetings, first time poster, long time collector so please be nice.

Hi, thanks for the responses. I got this about 6 years ago online. My best advice is to keep checking for any listings of the corrected cards. Since the error is not well known, sellers may not even know to look for it. Even still, it took me a while to find one.
